Psalms 106:26-27

26 So he made a solemn vow ^{▼▼tn Heb “and he lifted his hand to [or “concerning”] them.” The idiom “to lift a hand” here refers to swearing an oath. One would sometimes solemnly lift one’s hand when making such a vow (see Ezek 20:5-6, 15).}
that he would make them die ^{▼▼tn Heb “to cause them to fall.”} in the wilderness,
27 make their descendants ^{▼▼tn Or “offspring”; Heb “seed.”} die ^{▼▼tn Heb “and to cause their offspring to fall.” Some emend the verb to “scatter” to form tighter parallelism with the following line (cf. NRSV “disperse”).} among the nations,
and scatter them among foreign lands. ^{▼▼tn Heb “among the lands.” The word “foreign” is supplied in the translation for clarification.}
